I am trying to build GNU Emacs 20.3 on Solaris 7 using Motif. The
build fails to find the Xp library. What is that library and why is
it not found on Solaris 7? I found this in the Emacs configs:

#ifdef MOTIF
#ifdef HAVE_MOTIF_2_1
#define LIB_MOTIF_EXTRA -lXp
#else
#define LIB_MOTIF_EXTRA
#endif
#ifdef LIB_MOTIF
LIBW= LIB_MOTIF LIB_MOTIF_EXTRA
#else
LIBW= -lXm LIB_MOTIF_EXTRA
#endif
#endif

libXm on Solaris 7 claims to be Motif 2.1, but I can find no trace of
this Xp library.

I do see it (libXp) in the various XFree86 distributions...

Thanks for any hints.

It's also part of SOlaris 8; I think the config is confused in linking'
MOTIF_2_1 w/ libXp; libXp.so appeard in X11R6.2 (judging by the
version number in X11R6.4), so it's not in Solaris 7.
